Research

Actual lines of research:

  • Face recognition: congenital prosopagnosia, processing of non-emotional facial expressions in neurologically healthy individuals and clinical populations.
  • Clinical neuropsychology: mechanisms and efficacy of rehabilitation techniques in unilateral spatial neglect, acquired reading deficits in right brain-damaged patients, development of neuropsychological assessment tools.
  • Experimental psychology: perception, attention, spatial cognition and consciousness.
